a minor setback

2011-03-19T16:59:00.002+08:00

that might as well be a blessing in disguise.

i'm appalled at the way you handled the situation.

it was your last chance of proving yourself to me that you can be trusted on a professional level, not to even mention on a personal level.

but i probably shouldn't even have given you that little chance, because deep down inside, i knew it was going to be the same outcome anyways.

and we parted with you owing me something.
something that you haven't yet learnt to give, probably because you take us for granted so much.
something that you should have given without any prompting.
something that any other normal decent human being would do.
something that even my dog knows how to do.

you mentioned something about learning how to communicate properly.
it starts from this thing that i mentioned.
this thing that you owe me, your brother tim, his wife, and my wife.
and until you do this thing, i will cease to communicate with you.

because its time you learnt by yourself, and not be taught by others.

a bold step

2011-03-14T20:17:00.002+08:00

this week marks the beginning of a new era.

you don't know what lies ahead until you take the step forward.
and step forward, i shall.

that you can put a group of 10 normal women staying together in a house, and

1 month later you'll find:

2 dead women, because one of them could not stand the other and killed her in a fit of rage.
the other 8 women killed the killer to protect themselves.
total: 8 women left

2 months later, you'll find:

a clique of 5 women who mistreat and look down upon the other 3 women.
out of the 3 women, 1 woman is a misfit and doesn't care about anything. keeps to herself.
the remaining 2 women are clinging onto each other for dear life.
total: 8 women left

3 months later, you'll find:

a clique of 4 women who mistreat and look down upon the other 3 women.
there were originally 5 women in this group but the prettiest woman in the group has been cast out of the clique.
the prettiest woman has no choice but to hang out with the 2 women who were clinging onto each other for dear life. the 2 women accepted her reluctantly.
the misfit still keeping to herself.
total: 8 women left

4 months later, you'll find:
the clique of 4 women have gained a sense of self superiority made the 3 women their slaves.
the 3 of them are tortured frequently.

and that you can put a group of 10 normal men staying together in a house and 1 year later, you'll find:

a group of 10 normal men, with beer cans and dirty clothes all over the place, but still a group of 10 normal men.

the son, the husband and the father.

2010-02-23T19:05:00.004+08:00

the son.

this is the first role that you learn.
responsibilities in the family, filial piety.
you watch and learn from your parents, how they treat their parents, and subconsciously make a mental note of how you should do the same for them in their later years.

the husband.

the second role that you learn.
how to treat your spouse right, taking care of her needs, understanding how she thinks and co-existing as a strong loving unit ready to face the future together, for better or worse.

the father.

the most significant role in your life.
a process that is ongoing for the rest of your life, that changes constantly and forces you to rethink your stance on how you want to help shape the future of your next generation.

the man.

put these three roles together and you create the man, who has to fulfill three roles simultaneously. there will be times where he is forced to make difficult decisions that seemingly conflicts one particular role for the sake of another, and there is no better time to have the full understanding of his family.

2009-10-24T23:49:00.002+08:00

say AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

we moved back home from the hospital today. it was really hectic.
we shuffled between breastfeeding, cleaning her wounds, trying to get some sleep, packing, changing diapers, sterilizing her milk bottles, boiling water for etc etc purposes.
i have no idea how a couple can cope if there's no external help.
what if the husband is working too? how will the wife cope by herself? its crazy.
i find myself having a new-found respect for all mothers. its not like i didn't respect them before, but its just that i truly truly understand the emotions of being a parent right now, cos i'm going through them.
the love, the anxiety, the worries, the heart-pain, everything about the parent child bond.
if you can't find any meaning to your life, i think you'll find it once you have your own child. he or she will be your everything.

and at the end of the day, you know its worth it.

the intricate details of rx9

2009-10-22T08:35:00.000+08:00

Pisces Rising

You are very sensitive and can perceive others' feelings very quickly, but in such a way that they become your feelings. For this reason, it is a good idea to avoid being around negative people, because you will start feeling negative also. You are inclined to be idealistic, so it is important for you to believe in something beyond what you know with your senses.

Your imaginative quality may give you talent in art or music, or it may simply emerge as inventiveness and creativity that you can apply in many areas of your life.

You are very sympathetic to others. If someone needs help, you are there to give it.

You are not always very self-assertive, and you may be envious of those who appear to have more energy or who can push to get their own way. Do not envy them, because the world needs your kind of person also, the quieter people who try to make the world better for the rest of us.

Sun in Libra

You are warm and affectionate, and you enjoy being with people. Yet you are not retiring, in fact, you are quite strong willed and often the person in a group who makes things happen.

You like beautiful things and dislike anything ugly. Your love of beauty does not apply just to yourself. You prefer attractive homes and furnishings, pleasant scenery, and even art and music, in which your tastes may be unusually well developed.

Very often when you have to make a decision, you have great difficulty making up your mind. This is because you see both sides very clearly, and it is hard to choose between them. Your ability to see both sides makes you a very good peacemaker when other people are having an argument, for you can make them see both views also.

Sun in the Eighth House

A serious person, you know that you will have to go through many important changes as you grow. You are attracted to mysteries and to finding out about the deepest aspects of life.

While you are young you may not be able to distinguish between what is yours and what belongs to others. As an adult, however, you will probably make a career of handling other people's property or money; if you learned the lessons of your youth, you will be unusually responsible about handling possessions - yours as well as others'.

Moon in Sagittarius

You are an idealist who wants the world to be grand and good and beautiful. You want people to be good and noble and are very disappointed when they are not.

You are so concerned with the important things in life that sometimes you forget about little matters that really have to be done. You are very independent and resent anyone who tries to keep you from doing what you want.

You are optimistic and cheerful, and you can't stay sad for very long. Usually you feel good about life, and you try to make others around you feel that way also. People will like you for this.

When you are an adult, you will be interested in any subject that teaches you more about the universe and your place in it.

Moon in the Ninth House

You are always restless and looking for new experiences. Later in your life you may travel a lot just to experience as much of the world as possible.

However, your view of the world is colored strongly by your emotions, and your thinking may not be objective and clear.

The Moon indicates that you really hold on to whatever you learn, so you must be very careful about what you do learn. If you want to see the world, try not to be limited by the ideas you bring with you from earliest childhood.

Venus in Libra

You are a friendly, outgoing person who likes to have fun with others. You don't like to be alone, because you feel lonely very easily. Fortunately, people usually like you, so you shouldn't have any trouble finding company. In your efforts to get someone to like you, you should be yourself, not what you think the other person is looking for.

You like beautiful, graceful objects and fine clothing.

You may not enjoy doing hard work. But you will have to overcome this as you grow older, because everyone has to meet life's demands. You may try to get others to do your dirty work for you, but this would be a poor use of this energy. Instead, use your talent to make life beautiful for yourself and the people around you.

Venus in the Seventh House

You will always want to have a steady relationship that gives you a sense of being more complete than you are by yourself.

Even while you are young, you like to be with other people and to work with others rather than alone. You are far more concerned with harmony than with getting your own way. That is very useful, but you should learn that in some situations you must stand up for your rights in no uncertain terms.

You like to be with people who are attractive or artistic and creative. When you are older, you may marry someone who has these qualities.

Mars in Leo

You have a great deal of pride, and you enjoy doing things on your own initiative. An appeal to your sense of fairness brings out the best in you, and you will do anything to maintain these qualities.

At times you may act arrogant and domineering toward others. You can't always be first, but you have such a need to be a leader that it may be difficult for you to accept anyone else in this role.

You demand that others let you be yourself so you can run your life as you want.

You probably have considerable self-confidence and even courage, but you are not especially reckless. At best you have a good understanding of yourself, of your limitations as well as your strengths. In fact, you may feel uncomfortable with your emotions and weaknesses.

Mars in the Fifth House

You have a great need to express yourself and to be yourself openly. You say whatever is on your mind and let everyone know your mood. For this reason, you have a reputation for honesty, if not tact.

You put a great deal of energy into all your activities, but especially into whatever you do for fun. It is difficult for you to remain cooped up for long, because you get restless unless you are really enjoying your work. Basically you prefer play to work. As an adult, however, you may succeed by choosing a career that is really 'fun' for you.

useless organization

2009-10-15T14:47:00.002+08:00

there's an organization in singapore which i feel utterly disgusted at.

its an organization that causes:
1. wastage of time
2. wastage of money
3. super inconvenience
4. endless grief to me and my family

there're so many things i want to criticize about this organisation but it will all be useless anyway. fuck this shit.

the food that's in!

2009-09-26T15:44:00.004+08:00

location: jurong point 2
level: basement 1
name: new york new york

this is the 3rd time i'm eating it this week. it must go well with my taste buds!
the soft succulent chicken.. the salad that cleanses the sweetness of the teriyaki sauce off your palate.. only for you to indulge in another slice of the chicken..
the potato wedges, fried till the brink of being a thick potato chip, if there is such a thing, but not losing its identity of being a potato wedge. sigh. good food.

and to post on something that's past:

my surprise birthday cake, which my wife ordered my mother-in-law to buy back for me.
i don't really eat cake, so my wife finished it all up by herself. which makes you wonder.. was the cake really for me?

ha-ha. i know its for me. thanks dear =) love you.

good company, good dinner, good beer, with knockout quote of the day

2009-09-01T20:32:00.000+08:00

dinner at kushinbo with the guys was fantastic. i literally ate sashimi and crab legs till i was full.
thanks for coming over to check out the baby guys! (albeit still-in-stomach)
you guys know why i can't run around the place... stupid virus spreading around.

sweet beer. too bad they didn't have the dark one.
thanks to james, every time i see a bottle of erdinger, i will be reminded of why men don't have sex with their wives while they're pregnant.

"because its just like cumming on your daughter."

a little piece of my childhood in a flower

2009-08-04T20:37:00.003+08:00

how many of you have tasted the nectar of ixora as a child?
i have.

every time i see them, it brings a little part of me back to the days of innocence.
i may never relive those days again, but a vivid memory of childhood moments such as this is priceless.

and its my aim now to ensure that my daughter will have childhood memories worth recalling.

my weakness for japanese food

2009-08-04T20:18:00.002+08:00

major weakness. salmon sashimi. at ichiban sushi.

don't you feel like putting a slice in your mouth right now?
they should give me an award for taking such a vibrant picture.
or even better, free-for-life meals at ichiban sushi.

guilty indulgence. ebikko sushi.

there's something senseless about the sacrifice of so many to-be-prawns in the food chain just to make one ebikko sushi. that's why with every bite, i feel so guilty. not.

a class above the rest. chasoba.

this one's for the bro kevin wee. may we soon be able to have a meal together and bond over chasoba, after all the h1n1 madness!

and i present to the world... reia. 陈媃瑄

2009-07-23T14:11:00.003+08:00

this is the first time the world is seeing her.
if you can manage to decipher the picture, she is actually looking at you.
i know she's going to be one hell of a girl when she reaches her teens. zzz, just look at her mom.
i can foresee all my headaches already... boys calling her, coming home late, or even not back at all... pfft.

i've spent the past few years of my life thinking and deciding what kind of father i should be, and a lot of it was modeled after the way my father actually taught me.

but guess what...

my father doesn't have a daughter. i have no example to follow! good game.
guess i'll come up with my own way then.

> $1k to repair

2009-07-22T11:29:00.004+08:00

a guy from the service centre called me to ask if i want to proceed with a repair on the laptop's motherboard, plus some other things.
total cost: above $1k. they were not exactly sure what else was spoilt yet, since it was unable to power up.

at that moment, i felt like saying: go eat shit and die, motherf-er.

i had just sent my laptop for a repair under warranty 3 months ago, and they replaced the faulty motherboard.
obviously they replaced it with a shitty one, because it died 3 months later. just-right-outside-of-my-warranty-period.

coincidence? knowing the world as it is today... unscrupulous.

but it wasn't the guy's fault you know, so i just declined politely and asked for my hard disk to be taken out so i can salvage whatever i can. zzzzz!

leaders of sony, hear me. eat shit and die, motherf-er.
it shall be a cold day in hell before i buy another sony laptop.

my sony vaio laptop died...

2009-07-14T20:03:00.003+08:00

was it due to my relentless abuse? through those hours of long use?

i gave it a rest and switched to using my wife's hp laptop for 2 weeks... only to find out that it wouldn't even power on when i tried 2 weeks later!

this only made me realise one thing.

i was right to abuse my machine.

machines are like cheap sadomasochistic bitches.

they love the abuse, thrive on the abuse. once you stop it, they become feeble and die.

what makes me even more pissed off?

the warranty's over. knn. now i'll to cough out some cash to fix it... if it can be fixed.

bitch sony vaio.
bitch.

will the all spark revive this dead machine?

guilty indulgence

2009-06-27T17:59:00.002+08:00

no matter how disgusting they look, each piece is a slice of heaven to me.

and somehow, i ended up with a number on my plate, formed by bacon bits.

buying 0002 anyone?

abandoned, unwanted.

2009-06-22T12:54:00.002+08:00

picture taken at the bottom of my block. couldn't help but feel a tinge of loss.

well the good news is... it was missing when i came back half an hour later.
maybe it got adopted and has a new home now.

heart of glass

2009-06-17T17:08:00.001+08:00

血红的玻璃心

can i have a glass of ice water?

2009-06-16T22:25:00.000+08:00

something about the way water condenses on a glass just fascinates me.
or maybe, i just really like the frost glass effect.

happy 23rd birthday bro!

2009-06-14T20:53:00.000+08:00

a late post about my brother's birthday but still, its worth mentioning to me.
stay handsome! you're going to be in your prime soon...

bk gold nuggets

2009-06-12T13:25:00.000+08:00

there was incessant tapping on my thigh.
i stirred and opened my eyes, to look at the most beautiful woman.
"i'm hungry.." she said. "very hungry."

and off we went under the shine of the morning sunlight, for burger king gold nuggets.

the beginning

2009-06-10T19:58:00.000+08:00

and i shall start this with a photo that wasn't taken by me.. but by my 二妹 veron.
a beautiful shot of him with his "curious" look.
